Is this United's new away kit? Leaked image suggests Moyes' men will go back to black

Social media was buzzing on Sunday as an image emerged which suggested to show Danny Welbeck in Manchester United's new away kit for the 2013-14 season.

Sportsmail revealed United's home kit for their first season under new boss David Moyes earlier this week - which comes complete with a 90's style collar that Eric Cantona would approve of.

But this potential new away kit is similar in style to the home shirt in which United wrapped up a 20th league title and final trophy under Sir Alex Ferguson.

That gingham shirt was maligned by
many as a 'tea-towel' design, but instead of two-tone red, this kit is
black on blue check with a crew collar. Last season's away shirt was white.

Despite his uncertain future, after asking now-retired manager Ferguson that he wanted to leave the club, Wayne Rooney played a leading part in the launch of United's new home kit.

With Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain all said
to be keen on the £25million-rated striker, Moyes's first task is to
decide whether to sell Rooney or persuade him to stay when the pair
hold showdown talks.

The 27-year-old models the new strip with last season's gingham design largely out.

However, a tonal black and check does
feature more subtly underneath the tailored collar (with three buttons
akin to England's new away strip) which can be seen when upturned.

Kit makers Nike say the design 'celebrates the United's successes and Manchester's industrial heritage', when the check was produced in the city’s booming cotton mills in the 18th century.

Inside the neck is a woven label featuring the red devil from the United club crest alongside the motto: 'Forged in Industry, Striving for Glory'.

There are also two side vents on the hem of the shirt featuring the same tonal black and grey gingham check as under the collar.

The shorts, made from up to 13 recycled plastic water bottles produced as part of Nike’s revolutionary recycled polyester, are white with a thin black stripe on the hem. The socks are black with a white stripe between two red.

The kit, which will be replaced next summer, is made of fabric weighing just 150 grams, which is integrated with Nike Dri-Fit technology to draw away sweat from the body to keep players cool and dry.

It is released in the shops on Thursday (June 6) and will retail at £55.
